hey NS, so about three weeks ago I pay palled uni-corn 110$ for a pair of flexons.

THE STORY:

Everything went well, he was really easy to deal with. and his feedback is flawless.
but, he said he would have them shipped sometime that week which i paid for them (the week of the 3rd of october)

after that week was over I pmed him asking if they went out and if i could have a tracking number. He apologized for it taking so long because it was hard to find a box for them. and they would go out monday (the 11th)

it was cool with me but i was a little upset just cause i was pretty stoked for them.


NOW:

it has been two weeks since he said he would have them shipped last. and he hasnt logged in since the 13th. but now that ski season has started, im going to need those boots NOW. i will also need them to mount my new skis im planning on picking up today.


so ns. if any of you have any contact info on uni-corn(a phone number, an email. anything), please pm me. i trust in that hes a legit dude. I just want to get in touch with him and find out what the deal is with these flexons.

or if anyone knows why he hasnt logged in in two weeks. let me now also.



thanks ns.

because he's lazy and not an NS addict.
also he has at least on alias he uses, so that would also explain it.
stop freaking the fuck out, it's been three weeks.


trust me, victor is legit and isn't screwing you over. even though he is kind of a weirdass, he's not a thief. haha

you mustn't have read my post if you are seriously telling me to calm down haha. im not calling him out or anything i just want to get in contact with him asap.

i clearly said i trust hes a good member and i know my shits gonna come. i asked for info on him to get in contact. ski season started with sunday river opening and i was unable to ski this weekend and perhaps next because i have no boots. so im in a bit of a jam.

thanks for anyone who pmed me for the help.

I love how when ever a avid user fucks up, everyone backs him. But if some lesser name didnt ship for three weeks, everyone would be pissed.

If hes such a legit member, why has it taken him 3 fucking weeks to ship something? Can't find a box? Thats funny, USPS gives them away for free. Taking something to the post office and sending it, isn't that hard.

thank you. finally someone understands. i trust in that il get the boots, just i wish i had gotten them by now. i didnt think i would wait a month for them from the time they were paid for. but even if they shipped out tomorrow i wouldnt get them for at least a week.

i just want to ski like everyone else who hasnt skied since last season.
someone help me out. pm me his alias or something.

AVID USER : defined as using the site often and for a few years. Most likely has sold or bought things in BST. The longer someone has been on NS the more likely people know them by screen name or whatever and the larger chance that they had a few transactions under their belt. Thus the more people willing to back

Non Avid Use: Possibly a newb, not many posts, might not have any feedback. Could have no done any transactions through newschoolers. Most likely posted some stupid fucking shit in NON ski gabber that pissed some kids off. Thus less likely to have a bunch of other legit members saying " oh hey man this kid is legit"

So dont say stupid fucking things if you have no idea what you are talking about.


Also, UNicorn is great. Worked with him before and I know many people that have. I actually did multiple transactions with him over a few years. It'll work out. You try FB op?

+k to all who have helped so far.

Haha what was your point? Because he has a lot of posts someone should put up with bullshit? If anything his post count indicates how much free time he has.

i'm not backing victor up because he's an avid user, i'm backing victor up because he's kind of a friend of mine and i happen to know he's a very trustworthy guy. i would do the same for any other person i've done business with on NS, "avid user" or not.

also you must not ship much because if you did you would realize that all the boxes USPS gives away aren't anywhere close to big enough to even fit a single boot in, let alone a pair.




and OP he's on Facebook all the time, i PM'd you a link to his profile.

Well shit. I did fuck up. And thanks to all that stuck up for me.

Message I sent to OP:

Justin,

I am extremely sorry over what has gone on. Work has been overwhelming lately. I know that is not even close to a legit excuse for anything, but unfortunately that is all I have.

Your boots are packaged up and going to the post office tomorrow. Also in the package is a few goodies and I will also paypal you back $15 of the money you sent me. I know it is not much, but it is all I can do for you(other than having shipped them out when I said).

Once again, I am very sorry for this and dicking you over on days of skiing. Tomorrow I will have you a delivery conformation number after they go out USPS Priority.

V


By the end of this week everything should be resolved and all taken care of.

You need to change your mentality about this, I know Victor personally and know he is a good guy, thus, the only reason I would vouch for him. His follow up in this thread proves enough.

When you're the one shipping stuff its super easy to not do it and put it off. As easy as it seems to make that trip to the post office often times it takes a while.

Feel free to take a quick look at my feedback, if you want to know how often I ship. And that's just NS transactions. Based on the delivery confirmations on my desk, I have been to the post office 8 times in the last two weeks.

USPS has packaging supplies other than free boxes. And if they don't, FedEx/UPS will.
